Reading Nights 2022: “We’ll See: Campus Life in 2020”

Spotlight on the audio comic created during theUM artist-in-residence program.
Various venues (see the program).

In 2020, as university life was disrupted by the health crisis, Emilie Plateau, a comic book author and illustrator, and Ganaëlle Maury, a visual artist, were hosted by the University of Montpellier as part of an artist residency focused on the theme: “Campus Life in 2020.”

From their encounters and their sensitive, attentive, and sometimes amused observations, the audio comic “On verra, Campus Life in 2020” was born—a hybrid work combining drawings, sounds, and photographs that was published in December 2021.

The title of the comic book:

"We'll see..."

A phrase that reflects this unique and suspended period that the university community found itself facing from March 2020 to spring 2021.

“We’ll see…,” an intriguing phrase that catches our attention and draws us in to open this audio comic, to read and listen.
